Cases

Best v Charter Medical of England Ltd

Comment

The case underlines the importance the Court attaches to the need for precision in the pleading of slander claims. Although CPR Part 53 PD 2.4 seemed to permit a degree of flexibility by stating that a Claimant should set out the words complained of "so far as possible", the Court of Appeal held that the circumstances in which a Claimant will be excused a lack of precision will be rare indeed.
